Head of Executive Communications, People Organisation

JOB DESCRIPTION

The Head of Executive Communications, People Organisation leads communications strategy and execution for Nokia's global People organisation. This role sits at the intersection of business transformation and human story.

The role operates within Nokia's functional GMC model reporting to the VP, Corporate Communications & Executive Messaging. The role holder works within Nokia's functional communications model, orchestrating resources from internal communications, media relations, brand, content and external agency teams to deliver integrated, high-quality communications against the People organisation's strategic plan.

Critically, this is not a delivery-only role. The Head of Executive Communications Communications for CPO organisation brings a communications lens to the People organisation's strategy. The role demands both strategic leadership and a willingness to operate hands-on, setting direction and ensuring delivery against the plan.

This role serves as the primary communications partner to the Chief People Officer, providing strategic counsel on positioning, reputation, change leadership and stakeholder engagement. This requires a strong understanding of organisational transformation, communications expertise across both internal and external channels, and the ability to build trusted partnerships at the most senior levels. The CPO is a visible external voice on the future of work, talent, culture and leadership and this role is the engine behind that presence.

Given the pace and scale of change Nokia is navigating this role requires someone who is both a strategist and a practitioner, comfortable with change communications and capable of sustaining trust with employees at every level of the organisation.
